title: Smaller practices can be profitable.
abstract: New technologies, new services and new patients all increase practice productivity and profitability. Larger-volume practices often ignore advanced technology because it requires time to present to patients. Smaller practices can use these technologies to increase case acceptance and usually have an average production per patient of two or three times that of the high-volume practice. Your ultimate goal is to enjoy practicing dentistry. True leaders create positive environments. Slow down the pace, increase the rewards, decrease the stress and get back to the thrill of dentistry.
